Uh.... I love fantasy and science fiction. I write fantasy. I'm gonna talk about the fantasy that I write in the fantasy thread, not be drowned in countless shitty poems and pretentious drivel of outer /lit/
But you can appreciate that I don't spam the threads with what I write and more often than not I try to make and keep this thread alive and make conversations happen. Bet you didn't know that because I try not to be an avatarfag, but sometimes I just have to post the good ole' Tomcat because it's just such a piece of art in and of itself.
Oh, and I'm not autistic about planes. I happen to deeply respect the f14 and some things in my book resemble jet fighters in design and purpose. But what I write, the themes, the lines drawn, the plot, the characters, they are whole and of themselves. I'm not writing a "what if planes were in medieval times" piece of story, but something entirely original, and complex. There is a lot of thought and work put into it.

>basically real life medieval / olde times setting with a bunch of made-up names and no / low magic is boring and heck
Does anyone else agree with the aforementioned statement?
I love fantasy (and sf to an extend) to be utterly unapologetic and raw. Let magic be magic, don't try to rationalize everything, let men fight, don't try to shove cunning into barbarous times although the story of a ruthless intelligent leader can be interesting. I just find it very boring when the real world gets transported into a fantasy realm, with real world politics and issues, just with other names.
Oh, and fighting between human nations with human politics and scheeming is boring, and I WILL fight you for that. No, I don't say have mindless hordes of minions (insert legions of orcs or undead or other nameless creatures) shoved against the protagonist. But even a shallow, more poorly developed foreign / alien creature is infinitely more interesting than human on human action. No blue-coloured humans and call them aliens, obviously. Not to say that dynamics between humans and [race] is better and more compelling to read about, and even, God forbid, romances.
